I made this recipe on 5/26/09 as part of mine and SO's dinner.I sort of followed the recipe, instead of using a cut-up chicken, thighs and legs were used.And I added some Creole Seasoning to the cracker crumbs.After the first 30 minutes in the oven, the chicken was uncovered then baked for about 10 to 15 minutes.( I didn't want to become to dried out ). Both SO and I liked the taste, but it wasn't crispy enough,maybe I should have let it baked longer. But this is a repeat. Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "

I made 1 chicken breast for myself. This is easier than full frying and tastes like you worked all day at it. I will be making my "fried" chicken like this from now on. Thanks stitcher! Made and enjoyed for PAC Spring '09.

If you set this in front of me and I didn't know it, I would think it was fried!!!! This is really great!!!!! I used Ritz crackers and I added a little cayenne, paprika, and garlic powder to them. This cooking time created a nice, tender juicy chicken (even the white meat!!) Love this recipe, will definitely make again, thanks!!!!
